These Awesome 3D Printed Lightbulbs Are Perfect For City-Lovers

The humble lightbulb, you think it might be safe from the
clutches of 3D printing, but no. Not at all.
Designer David Graas has created
3D-printed LED bulbs that have cityscapes rising from them in a
series called Huddle.

What's a skyscaper doing on a bulb? These are Graas' homage to
the modern city, a place where humanity huddles together to face
its unknown future.

"The mega city, despite its many problems, seems to be our
destined habitat now that resources are becoming scarce. It also
hold[s] the key to a sustainable future with its concentration of
information, technology and talent." he says.

They also look really cool. The bulb itself is actually a
"bulbshade" so you don't need a fixture, you just hang it
straight from the ceiling or it comes in floor stand version too.
They're a fine example of how 3D printing isn't just about
printing figures of Yoda, but also how you can customize an
everyday product and completely alter its appearance.
